Regardless if you saw the cover or not, this is an atrocity. Pretty soon some libtard commentator posing as a journalist is going to say Afghanistan is lost and our next President will pull us out of there.

And then the media will claim that it is internal and we shouldn’t be interfering in their politics.

Where have I seen this before? Hmmm.. administration not giving the commanders what they need or allowing them to defend themselves. Each mission marred by the medias interference that we are killing civilians. Our allies bailing on us. Our President more concerned about social engineering than the spread of a radical ideology that will affect Americans for years to come.

Nope.. can’t seem to remember any other time this happened.

I think it is about time that the American public see just what kind of animals we are up against. During the attacks on the WTC, the news feeds had the people jumping off the building digitally scrubbed so it would not shock the American public. I have seen a tape that was not scrubbed and it was far more horrible than most could imagine.

It’s time to face the reality of the inhumanity of the people who oppose us. Far past time.

My interaction with people from Muslim countries leads me to believe that most people in those countries are at best agnostic or only weakly religious. They face the same problem that we do: the most fanatical and ruthless do not scruple at threats and violence.

As Mark Steyn points out, the children of immigrants from Islamic countries are often more religious than their parents. It's like the fact that kids of nonreligious Jews and Americans are most susceptible cults.

The sad thing is that given that this is in Time, youll proabably get more factual information about the world by looking at the picture once than by reading the article.

I understand your point, but I don't think it's sad. It's on the cover. Even a media hermit like I am saw it, and it says everything you need to know about it. Also, the question that goes with it is very provocative. Perhaps it was in spite of everything they stand for, but the message got out anyway.

My God, what a message. I walked out of the store weeping and wept all the way home. I think it changed my life. It certainly galvanized (once again) everything good in me, including my instincts as a father and as a man. And I'm sure it has for lots and lots of other people. And this at a time when the president is looking to appease the left by yapping about withdrawal.

This cover is, to use a worn out buzzword, a "game changer." For starters, it makes every soldier a hero all over again, to anyone with a beating heart, regardless of his political persuasion.

I’m not angry at all and I’m not offened by the photo. I do however have a problem with the words to the right of the girl. It places a false responsibility on the US to ensure this never happens again. While this is an inhumane act, we are not responsible for other nations laws, religions, and actions.

Exactly. A picture like this would have never appeared when Bush was president. Democrats were against the war back then. This is to support Obongo. I bet this magazine has never had a picture this scarey before. Imagine the furor if a conservative magazine had this cover 4 years ago. The liberals would be screaming PROPOGANDA!
